Well, the Legion of Super Heroes wrapped up today with Part 2 of "Dark Victory".

It was a delight to see the large role that Clark played in this story.  His belief in Brainy brought a defeated Brainy back to battle his ‘ancestor’, who had completely taken over his programming.  And it was Kell-El who saved Clark, realizing that his DNA ancestor ( Read more... )

Legion Of Super Heroes (March 29, 2008)

This first of two parts ("Dark Victory") was a good, dramatic look at Brainiac’s conversion to evil. Clark doesn’t want to believe that it’s happening, but after uncharacteristic behavior of Brainy’s during a simulated battle test, he takes Kell-El’s advice and keeps a close eye on his friend.

Brainy soon ( Read more... )

Legion of Super Heroes (March 15, 2008)

The return of magic!  We get a magical imp’s return, except he hasn’t got any powers anymore due to his malicious mischief of an earlier episode.

The Legion has to stall a magical take-over while Kel-El has to shephard the de-powered snarky kid wizard through his trials to regain his mojo.

Not an outstanding ( Read more... )

Legion Of Super Heroes (Episode 8) (December 1, 2007) The Batman was a repeat today.

Kandor was the star today.  Clark ended up in the Bottle City after he and the Legion ended up in his Fortress.  Imperius was in there, too, looking for a gadget (The Messenger) that Jor-El had designed that kept Krypton from exploding.  When Brainiac 1 shrunk ( Read more... )

Legion Of Super Heroes (Episode 7)  (November 17, 2007)  The Batman was a repeat today.

We got to see some of Kell-El’s humanity today.  The child Abel attached himself to Kell because he felt that the Kryptonian could best protect him, but both were raised by robots and there might have been a kinship there from the start.

Kell was uncomfortable (“ ( Read more... )

The Batman (Episode 6) (November 10, 2007)

LSH was a repeat today.

Today’s episode of The Batman brought us back to Gotham roots: just Batman, Robin, and Batgirl, and the Joker for good measure!

I’ll admit it, the Joker amuses me in this ‘toon!  J

Seeing Batgirl start laughing and robbing a jewelry store?  Priceless!  J

Poor Dick grumbling about ( Read more... )

Legion of Super Heroes (Episode 6), The Batman (Episode 5) (November 3, 2007)

What stood out for me about LSH today? How Clark was so clearly the moral center (not moralist, as the fundies and family values phonies yap about) of the hero world. His goodness and decency helped turn around a villainous type, and his concern and anger over what ( Read more... )

 Legion of Super Heroes (Episode 5), The Batman (Episode 3--Repeat) (October 27, 2007)

The WB tripped us up this week!  They repeated the Green Arrow episode of The Batman, but gave us a new episode of the Legion.  And next week both will be new, with the Flash as the guest star in Gotham!  J

Ollie was so impressed by Bruce’s set-up, wouldn’t it be ( Read more... )

 Legion Of Super Heroes, The Batman (Episode 4) (October 13, 2007)

Brainy still has it bad for ‘our’ Clark.  ;)  He was dissing Shrinking Violet since she was taking the place of Superman during the latest mission.  He learned, poor boy, he learned!  J

Kell-El grows on you.  He’s all tough and “You’re not crying, are you?” but he was moved by the ( Read more... )

Legion of Super Heroes, The Batman (Episode 3) (October 6, 2007)

Good episodes today.  In LSH, Timberwolf is accused of murdering his father, the man who made him half-man, half-animal, and the Legion sentences him to prison for life due to the overwhelming evidence.  Except that Phantom Girl and Chameleon Boy don’t go along with the program, and ( Read more... )
